According to the U.S. Fire Administration, there are approximately 24 thousand electrical fires per year. You can’t prepare for every unexpected event, but a little knowledge goes a long way. For instance, that flickering light you’ve been ignoring? It could be more than just annoying; it might be your wiring crying out for help.
To keep your home, business, and family safe, it's important to understand what the risks and threats. In this brief article brought to you by Mr. Electric, we shed light on some of the top culprits and what you can do to minimize your risk.
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!

If you'd rather have a certified electrician come out and investigate, then call or message Mr. Electric to speak with a live representative. We're happy to schedule a convenient appointment or arrange an urgent dispatch to your home or business for as soon as possible.
Homes and businesses from the last century weren’t built to handle today’s electrical load. If your wiring hasn’t been updated in the last few decades, then it may not be equipped to handle modern appliances, electronics, and lighting systems.
Wiring that’s frayed, brittle, or overheating is a fire hazard waiting to happen - but how do you inspect wiring in the walls? A certified electrician has the expertise, experience, and equipment to do that, but YOUR vigilance matters too. Look out for these warning signs of outdated or faulty wiring:
We provide reliable, professional electrical services backed by licensed electricians and upfront pricing. Our team is committed to safety, quality workmanship, and on-time service for every job. With trusted local expertise and customer-first care, we deliver solutions you can count on.
These red flags are nothing to brush off. Call Mr. Electric to have a local electrician investigate sooner rather than later.
Have you ever plugged in your phone, laptop, lamp, fan, and space heater into the same power strip? It's convenient, sure, but also incredibly dangerous. Just like pouring a gallon of water into a pint cup will cause a spill, overloading the wiring will cause excess heat to build up and increase the chance of fire.
Instead, distribute your electronics, appliances, and devices across multiple outlets - and avoid daisy-chaining your power strips. If you're constantly running out of places to plug in, then it might be time to install additional outlets or upgrade your electrical panel.
Extension cords are meant to be temporary solutions for momentary situations. Running an extension cord under a rug or behind furniture may seem harmless, but it creates real risks. These cords can overheat, become pinched or frayed, and ignite flammable materials.
If you rely on extension cords for daily use, then you likely need more dedicated outlets. Have a licensed electrician install them safely and up to code. The pros at Mr. Electric are here to help.
That old toaster you’ve had since college might still work, but it could also be a fire hazard. Appliances with frayed cords, loose plugs, and/or worn insulation are among the leading causes of residential electrical fires. So, the next time you fire up an old appliance, keep an eye out for:
If any of these apply, it’s time to repair or replace the appliance - or have your outlet inspected. Loose, damaged, or heated electrical outlets can cause arcing, overheating, and sparks.
Most property owners only schedule an electrical inspection when they’re buying or selling, but your electrical system ages... and wear and tear can create hidden hazards. Routine inspections can uncover problems before they become disasters.
If it has been over three years since you last schedule electrical service, then it's time to call an electrician. The certified electricians at Mr. Electric can test your circuits, check for outdated components, and offer safe solutions for any concerns.
There's no knowing when an electrical issue will turn into a disaster. Whether it's noon on a weekend or midnight on a weekday, you can call or message Mr. Electric to get in touch with a member of our team.
